CONDlTtON OF The GENEkAL FUND.
The trustees of the Insane Hospital yesterday
again called at the Auditor of States Office for
warrant for their January expenses, amounting
to 500, 900, but as there was only $1,000 in the
general fund, the Auditor refused to issue 1T.
The Governor is still disposed to not sign the
bond for temporary transfer to the general
fund of the 500, 600 credited TO the permanent
endowment fund of the State University. AS
there is no other money available at present, I'M
less he decides to make the loan, this balance in
the general fund will probably be exhausted
within two or three days, and no warrants for
any State expenses can be issued

Nloney i'm Potatoes.

The Alexandria Town Talk, com.
menting on the fact that the potato
crop in the Northern States has
been greatly cut off by recent
drought, says:
This year a number of farmers
in the vicinity o: this city had a few
acres in irish potatoes and sold them
here in Alexandria, clearing from
$50 to $500 per acre net. AS The
spring potatocrop is always gcner
ally gathered in April or May in
this latitude, it does not interfere
with the cotton crop. In fact We
heard Of one man who lives neat
Alexandria making $75 per acre
from Irish potatoes, and then plant
ing in cotton, making over a bale
per acre on the same land, worth
$50--in all 1925 an acre"
When it is considered that pota.
toes are shipped to the amount Of
hundreds of thousands of barrels to
this market frosn distant States. this
fact ought to stimulate their produc.
tion in Louisiana. The early yields
could he sent North where they
would bring good prices provided
they were placed in market ahead Of
competing supplies. The home trade
could afterwards be looked after.

When to Sow Oats.

In order to escape danger Of win
tter killing, oats should be sown ear
~ in the fall. Throughout the north
e part Of the cotton belt September
is the best month. South CT the
middle line, October and November
sowings will answer. The idea is to
get a strong root development be.
fore cold weather sets in, giving the
plants a firm hold on the soil. Not
w%i,hstanding somewhat discoura.
ging failures of late years, VIC think
it good policy to SOW a large area
in the fall. If killed by cold the
seed will be the principal loss, as
the land may be reseeded 10 January
orFebruary, or al be planted in
other crops in tle~spring. The old
winter oat should he brought again
into cultivation. 1t'has often proven
.agood practice to SOW oats in the
present cotton fields. This may be
done without serious injury to the
cotton, blowing in with a c%uItivator,
harrow Or sweep, Just as If cultiva:
ting the cotton, the operation to he
preceded by the cotton pickers if
there be any cotton. On our own
farm wc'lmve had fnc results from
this plan. The standing cotton stalks
can be easily knocked down" cold
mornings in January or February,
and prove small obstacles in the way
of harvcsting.-EX.

Advice to Cotton Planters.

1t is estimated that the South will
this year. for the first time in its his
tory probably, raise enough Germ for
home consumption, instead Of drain
lug her wealth away for the henefit
OF Northern producers ofthat cereal.
This is Just what the Sou,h should
and could do every year, if it were
not for the cotton planting mania;
and to corn should be added pork
and bacon, and many other neces.
saries Of life heretofore largely pur-
chased elsewhere, but which can be
produced in die South with great
profit. II the people Of the South
could see a statemen. showing the
sum total of money they send 70 the
Northern States every year to pnr-
chase what they could just as we'll
produce at home. it would startlc
them 10y its magnitude. BY a great
or diversity Of crops the Southern
planter would benefit himself in two
ways. lie would produce himself
what he now has to purchase of
Others at a good profit to the seller,
and by reducing the acreage hereto
fore planted in cotton to the extent
of that devoted to other products,
thereby reduce the cotton supply
and enhance the price. Any large
cotton planter will tell you that
raising cotton at present prices is al.
most as profitless as trading one
silver dollar for another, except in
very favorable years, and all unfa-
vorable season is certain to entail a
loss. it will take several fairly pros.
porous seasons to recover from; and
the surest and best way to improve
